Give NCW Turkey Trot is a running race on November 26, 2026 in Wenatchee, WA, with entry fees from $20 to $30.
From the Organizer
The Give NCW Turkey Trot brings our community together on Thanksgiving morning to celebrate generosity in action.
Hosted by the Community Foundation of NCW, this annual tradition launches Give NCW, a community-wide giving movement that supports nearly 100 nonprofit organizations serving North Central Washington. Thanks to the generosity of our event sponsors, 100% of registration fees are donated to the Give to All Fund and shared among participating nonprofits.
Runners can choose from a timed 10K Run/Walk, timed 5K Run/Walk, or a free Kids Fun Run. The 5K and 10K courses follow the scenic Apple Capital Loop Trail along the Wenatchee riverfront, while the Kids Fun Run takes place near the grounds of Pybus Public Market.
Whether you're chasing a personal best, walking with family and friends, cheering on your kids, or showing up in your favorite Thanksgiving costume, the Turkey Trot is a fun and welcoming way to start the holiday. Together, we're kicking off a season of generosity that supports and strengthens our communities throughout North Central Washington.
Special thanks to our Presenting Sponsor, Wenatchee Valley Medical Group, and our Gold Sponsors, Cordell Neher & Company and Cashmere Valley Bank, whose generosity makes this event possible.
We are also grateful to the Pybus Market Charitable Foundation for hosting the event and opening Pybus Public Market on Thanksgiving Day to welcome participants, families, volunteers, and spectators.
Gather your friends, family, coworkers, teammates, or neighbors and come dressed to impress. Giving Cards will be awarded to our favorite group costumes and can be redeemed to support participating nonprofits through Give NCW.
Strollers and leashed dogs are welcome.
